No Screw, Cap or Name Brand on Older Shower Handles

[stanley223]

Hello. Just started getting a drip leak and the one shower handle is loose. It won't turn the water on/off.

No evidence of screw holes or any other holes. If I push in the knob, the other handle moves in also. Tried pulling/twisting/turning on the cap but it's not budging and I didn't want to break the stem. There seem to be groove marks on the left handle but wasn't able to get any movement on either side.

Cannot find name brand either. I tried looking into the rear of the handle (using portrait mode of camera) but there aren't any levers/mechanisms that i can see to unlock.

The white caps unscrew and then the screws are underneath them.

it is not budging. the white part and the middle part appear to be one piece.

They are NOT. BUt they can be stuck together so you need more force applied gently do you do not scratch the cap.

appreciate you for following up. added more lubricant and finally got this sucker off. the handle took a little beating but at least it's off, thanks to this forum.

Thank you!

I have a dripping shower and can't see how to access the H&C brand shower control because there are no screws to remove.

It has been a long time since I have seen one of those. It was made by several companies, Price Pfister being one of them. The black piece comes off , (it pull outward), and there are one or two screws under it, depending on which company make it.
